Slowing up of lumber shipments, with tying up of bullding activities in all parts of the country as a prob- able consequence, was reported today by the loca! headquarters of lhe'NA— tional Lumber Manufacturers’ Asso- ciation. Statements received this week by the assoclation from all reglony pro- ducing lumber foreshadow * “untoward effects of serious proportions that the ,railway and coal strikes. especially | the latter, probably will have ol the + Open Cara Searce.

Lumbermen already are beginning jto decline orders, and shipments {are running as much as 16 per {cent below production, although August ordinarily is the second best umber month in’the year, and this is 2 year of exceptional demand for lumber. While shipments for the week end- ing August 19 did show an increase over those of the preceding Wwee representing probably a special ef fort to get lumber on the cars be. fore priority requirements become very restrictive, the general level of the whole lumber movement i§ al- ready 10 to 15 per cent below what it should be. Production is holding its own, but accepted orders and ship- | ments are conditions of transportation instead of by the market. " Ample Housing Retarded. The consequence undoubtedly will be that for the next few months there | will be a retardation in the provision { of ample housing for the people and restricted employment in the building ades and in lumber manufacture, indeed, in the making of all : materials. ht softwood porting weekly (with 1, as compared with 387 last week). 97 feet of lumber in ending August 19: ship- 210,034,018 and orders the first showing a 062 feet, the second 311,280 feet and the st e of 6.061,172 feet.
